Here is further progress on the needle book, which will be another addition to my period sewing kit to take with me to events.
Each side of the needle book will be embroidered with a great wyrm, the first in green and outlined in burgundy, and the second in burgundy outlined in green. Â Each wyrm is 3″x3″. Â They are made entirely in stem stitch using DMC cotton floss, on linen.
